H5MK 04 (SCDCCLD0345) — Promote Literacy, Numeracy and Language Development for Children’s Early Learning

Overview

This standard identifies the requirements when promoting literacy, numeracy and language for children’s early learning. It requires you to work with key people in supporting children to develop literacy, numeracy and language. It also requires you to work in partnership with families. It requires you to work with others in the setting to monitor and evaluate children’s literacy, numeracy and language.

Additional Information

Scope/range related to Performance Criteria

The details in this field are explanatory statements of scope and/or examples of possible contexts in which the NOS may apply; they are not to be regarded as range statements required for achievement of the NOS. The use of the terms ‘child’ or ‘children’ in this standard may refer to your work on an individual or group basis. NOTE: Where a child or young person finds it difficult or impossible to express their own preferences and make decisions about their life, achievement of this standard may require the involvement of advocates to represent the views and best interests of the child or young person. Where there are language differences within the work setting, achievement of this standard may require the involvement of interpreters or translation services. Active participation is a way of working that regards children and young people as active partners in their own care or support rather than passive recipients. Active participation recognises each child and young person’s right to participate in the activities and relationships of everyday life as independently as possible. Activities and experiences refers to play, learning and leisure activities that meet the preferences, needs and abilities of the child or young person with whom you work, such as playdough, skipping, football, reading and storytelling, ICT activities, arts and craft. Children are those with whom you are working, except where otherwise stated. Differentiated curriculum is a curriculum that is responsive to the learner's needs, ie not presenting the same curriculum to everyone. Families includes parents (mothers and fathers) and carers and extended and chosen families who contribute significantly to the wellbeing of babies, children or young people and who may or may not have legal responsibility. Others are your colleagues and other professionals whose work contributes to the child or young person’s wellbeing and who enable you to carry out your role.
